Description
The Salgado de Aveiro is a vast area of salt exploration located in the Ria de Aveiro. The salt pans, although an artificial habitat, are of great value to waterfowl, allowing a balance between the economic exploitation of a resource and the conservation of natural values. Ria de Aveiro shelters during the winter more than 20.000 migratory birds. A good place for birding, but note that you have to make a reservation to get in (see the info below). Among the birds you can see are Călifar alb, Flamingo roz. Corcodel mic, Piciorong, Prundăraș de sărătură, Prundăraș gulerat mare, Culic mic, Sitar de mal, Pietruș, Fugaci de țărm, Fugaci mic, Fluierar de munte, Fluierar cu picioare roșii, Chiră mică, Chiră de mare and Erete de stuf.
